California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office claims he was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, after being invited to speak at the event due to “pressure” from the Trump administration.

Newsom had been scheduled to speak with Fortune at the USA House, Davos, a privately organized event, at the World Economic Forum, which has been recognized by the U.S. government as the nation’s headquarters in Davos.

    Newsome is there because if California were to leave the US, we would be the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world, and if Trump keeps doing what he’s doing the rest of the US would dip to number 2

      I really don’t think that California will secede and it would be stupid of any USA governor to suggest that. Sedition would warrant a military response, and I’m certain the Republican administration would obliterate the state given how they’re reacting to anyone opposing their fascist paramilitary “ICE”.

      Edit: Upon re-reading I think I understand what you’re saying. Newsom is the head of California and he leads California’s economy, which includes Silicon Valley and the major Fin-Tech companies. I see; I see.
